Product Details

Features & Typical Sizes

Every Heated Booth Ships Fully Certified

01

Max Bake Temperature — 180°F

PFS heated booths reach a maximum bake temperature of 180°F. Programmable cycle timers hold the booth at the target temperature for the required dwell time, then automatically ramp down — no manual intervention needed.
02

Available on Orion, Helios & Zenith

Heated options are available across all three PFS enclosed booth series — Orion (cross-flow), Helios (side-downdraft), and Zenith (full downdraft). Same heat system, same controls, same certifications regardless of airflow configuration.
03

UL 508A Control Panel — Spray, Flash, Bake

Pairs with our PFS Core Control Panel — UL 508A certified with spray, flash, and bake modes. Programmable cycle timers, safety interlocks, and optional BMS integration. All three modes are selectable from the front panel.

04

Direct-Fired or Indirect-Fired Heaters

Choose from direct-fired natural gas, indirect-fired gas, propane, or electric heater configurations. Direct-fired delivers the highest BTU output for large booths. Indirect-fired is required for solvent-borne coatings. Electric is available for clean-room and zero-emission facilities.
05

Optional Humidity Controls

Optional humidity control module maintains target relative humidity during spray and cure cycles. Critical for waterborne basecoat applications and high-humidity climates where moisture can affect finish quality and dry times.
06

Blanket Intake Filter Upgrade (Optional)

Blanket intake filter upgrade is available as an option on all heated configurations. Blanket media provides higher surface area and lower pressure drop than standard tacky filters — critical for maintaining airflow efficiency at elevated temperatures.
07

Advanced Controls — Data Integration

Advanced control option enables the booth to communicate with external data-collecting systems — SCADA, MES, ERP, or building management systems. Log cycle data, temperatures, run times, and filter status for quality records and predictive maintenance.
STANDARD SIZES

Available on All Three PFS Series

Heated options are available on the Orion, Helios, and Zenith. Standard booths are 14′ wide — select a series to configure your heated booth.

BUYER’S GUIDE

Heated Paint Booths, Explained

Faster cure times and better finishes in any season.

A heated booth warms incoming air for comfortable spraying in cold weather, speeds flash-off between coats, and runs a bake cycle that cures the finish before the part leaves the booth. One booth does the work of a booth plus a separate curing room.

Heat can be added to any PFS enclosed booth: cross-flow, semi-downdraft, side downdraft, full downdraft and raised basement. Heat is supplied by an air make-up unit sized to the booth’s airflow.

The burner is sized from the booth airflow (CFM), your coldest design temperature and the temperature rise you need. PFS engineers calculate BTU requirements and operating cost estimates with your quote.

A UL 508A control panel manages spray and bake modes, temperature set points and timers. During bake, part of the air can be recirculated to cut fuel use, with interlocks that prevent spraying while the booth is in bake mode.

Heated booths are built to NFPA 33 and OSHA requirements. Gas piping, burner equipment and air permits vary by jurisdiction; PFS supplies drawings and equipment data for your permit package.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Heated Spray Booths — Common Questions

A heated spray booth is an enclosed finishing booth equipped with a direct-fired or indirect-fired burner system that heats the incoming make-up air to a controlled temperature. Heated booths accelerate paint curing, improve finish quality in cold weather, and enable faster cycle times compared to unheated booths. They are standard equipment in high-volume automotive refinishing, aerospace, and industrial finishing operations.

A direct-fired unit burns natural gas or propane right in the make-up airstream. It is the most efficient option and the most common choice for paint booths. An indirect-fired unit heats the air through a heat exchanger, so combustion products never enter the booth. It is chosen when a coating specification, process or local requirement calls for it. PFS will recommend the right type for your coatings and climate.

PFS heated spray booths are designed to maintain booth temperatures up to 160°F (71°C) for bake/cure cycles. Standard spray cycle temperatures are typically 65–75°F. Bake cycle temperatures for automotive clearcoat cure are typically 140–160°F. Custom temperature ranges are available for specialty coating applications.
Yes. PFS heated spray booths are built to NFPA 33 standards for spray application of flammable and combustible materials. The booth is ETL listed (Intertek) for the USA and Canada, ships with a UL 508A certified control panel and ETL/UL listed components, and complies with OSHA 1910.94 ventilation requirements.
Heating costs depend on booth size, local natural gas or propane prices, climate, and operating hours. PFS engineers can provide estimated BTU requirements and operating cost projections for your specific booth configuration and location. Contact PFS for a detailed energy analysis with your quote.

In most cases, yes. An air make-up unit and control upgrade can be retrofitted to an existing enclosed booth after PFS reviews its airflow and electrical setup.

It depends on the coating, but curing in a heated booth typically lets a job leave the booth the same day instead of waiting for an air dry.
